✨ SVINFO(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to svinfo — the manual page for the little utility that spills the tea ☕ about your supervised processes. Manual name is svinfo, section 1, and yes we're doing this whole thing together, no skipping 💖

💅 NAME 💅

svinfo — Get infos about a supervised process 🕵️♀️✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

svinfo [OPTION]... SERVICE

Like, give it some options if you want, but you GOTTA name a SERVICE. No service, no info, no vibes. Periodt. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Get infos about a supervised process — that's literally the whole mission statement and honestly? Iconic. 💫

Here's the whole menu of options, no cap, every single one:

  • -l, --log — Get infos about the attached log process instead of the process itself 📜 Like, you want the receipts from the log side, not the main character. Not me switching who I'm asking about 💀
  • -w, --when — Output the time when the service was started ⏰ Bestie wants timestamps? Bestie gets timestamps.
  • -p, --pid — Output the process id of the service (0 if not running) 🔢 and yes, if it's not running you get a big fat 0, don't @ me.
  • -s, --state — Return the process state 👑 and here's the whole state lore, memorize it fr fr:
    • 0 = down and stopped 😴
    • 1 = up and stopped
    • 2 = down and started
    • 3 = up and started 🔥
  • -h, --help — Display help and exit 🆘 the classic escape hatch.
  • -V, --version — Display version and exit 🏷️ capital V, lowercase v is a different girl, don't mix them up.
ngl this next bit is important: with this utility you can gather some information about a supervised process. If no parameters are specified this utility prints the status output from svstat. 🎀

So like — pass nothing and it just hands you the svstat output, which is lowkey a whole mood. It's giving "I asked a simple question and got a whole paragraph." 💜
